[gentoo-user] what is lvmetad?

In the newest  lvm, there is something called lvmetad, but it won't
start because /run/lvm is missing.  When I created by hand, it then
started, but when I then started lvm which would not start without
lvmetad, it said lvmetad was started, but disabled.

Can anyone tell me what is  going on here?

Thanks.
